Carbost, Loch Harport
Carbost (Scottish Gaelic: Carabost) is a village on the south-west shore of Loch Harport on the Minginish peninsula on the Isle of Skye and is in the council area of Highland.[1] Carbost becomes a tourist hub in summer months due to the presence of the Talisker Distillery which is also one of the main employers in the village along with the local pub, The Old Inn. There is a community run grocery & provisions shop and a coffee shop, Caora Dubh (which means 'Black Sheep' in Scottish Gaelic.) Carbost lies around 2 1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) from Portnalong and is close to Glen Brittle, Fernilea and Fiskavaig.
